Welcome. Thank you for checking out this story, I wanted to start out with a new one for this decade and I had to do something for the occasion. I hope you enjoy it.

"Hey, has anyone seen Deku?" Ochaco asked, her classmates.

Everyone either shrugged or answered no, since he had been absent since that morning.

"He's not in his room and he wasn't called out for anything, so where could he be?" Ochaco wondered.

Little did she know, Midoriya was thinking about her just as much as she was thinking about him.

Only in his case, it was more about what she meant to him.

Midoriya was pacing around on top of a random rooftop, overlooking the city as the sun set.

"I love her." Midoriya thought.

"I love her!" Midoriya said, out loud.

As he stopped to look out at the distance and contemplate his feelings and how to handle it, he failed to notice the onlookers that were taking photos of him.

"Isn't that the guy from the sports festival?" A guy in the crowd asked.

"Yeah, that's him, his name is Midoriya." Someone answered.

"What's he doing just standing there?" A woman asked.

"I heard him say that he loves some girl." Another guy answered.

"Wait, is he making a public confession to her?" Another woman asked.

"That's so sweet." Someone said.

"Quick, let's get the word out." Someone else said.

Within minutes posts were out there about the new hero, making his debut, not with action, but with a declaration of love.

Even one local news station was following him with their cameras, closely observing to see if the girl in question, would show up.

With all of this happening, it was only a matter of time before word got back to the school.

"How romantic." Midnight said, fawning over his courage.

"What is he doing?" Aizawa questioned, clearly unimpressed.

"He's showing how a true gentleman hero acts when trying to court someone." Midnight answered.

"By making a fool of himself?" Aizawa asked.

"Well, he could be a little more subtle, but the gesture is grand, nonetheless." Midnight said.

Meanwhile.

"You've all got to see this!" Kaminari shouted, as he ran into the room, with all of the other guys following closely behind him.

"Why did you drag us out here?" Kirishima asked.

Kaminari didn't answer, grabbing the remote and switching the channel, much to the women's dismay.

"Rude." Mina said.

"Just look." Kaminari said.

As everyone looked at the screen, they were shocked to find that their classmate was being shown on the news, as well as the headline.

"New hero confesses love?" Jiro questioned.

"How romantic." Toru said.

"I knew that there was a spark of romance from someone in this class, I just never expected it to be Midoriya." Mina told them.

"Boldness is often favored by an audience." Tokoyami said.

"Alright, Midoriya!" Kirishima shouted, while applauding him.

"So, who do you think it is?" Tsuyu asked.

"There's only one way to find out." Momo said.

With that said, everyone glanced at each other for about a second before immediately rushing for the door.

"So, Deku likes someone." Ochaco thought, worryingly.

Later.

Deku was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, trying his best to avoid the media.

"How does All Might deal with all of this?!" Midoriya thought, in a panic.

The crowd on the streets below steadily grew as well, attracting more and more people who admired Midoriya's bravery and presence.

"If I can get back to the dorms, I'll be fine." Midoriya thought.

His focus would be interrupted however, by his approaching classmates.

"What are they doing out here?" Midoriya wondered.

Midoriya jumped down, landing on the sidewalk to greet his classmates.

"Hey, what's everyone doing here?" Midoriya asked.

Iida was about to address him with their reasons before being interrupted by Mina.

"Who is it, Midoriya?!" Mina shouted.

"Who is who?" Midoriya asked.

"The girl you confessed your love for, don't deny it." Toru said.

"How did they know?!" Midoriya thought.

Midoriya unknowingly stated his thoughts out loud.

"Have you not been paying attention?" Kirishima questioned him.

"Dude, you're all over the news." Kaminari said.

Kaminari handed Midoriya his phone, to look at a news article.

Midoriya flinched in surprise as he saw the headline and the photo that was taken of him.

"So that's why they were following me." Midoriya realized.

Midoriya looked over at his friends, his sight immediately set on Ochaco.

Midoriya sighed, seeing the look of distraught on her face.

"I've messed up, haven't I?" Midoriya wondered.

Midoriya slowly approached her, holding out his hand for her to take.

"Can we talk?" Midoriya asked.

Ochaco looked at him, stunned by a simple question.

"Okay." Ochaco said, meekly.

With that, Ochaco took his hand, Deku pulled her close and jumped up onto the roof of a nearby building.

The crowd and media started pouring in, finally catching up to the new hero.

"That must be her!" A reporter shouted.

Everyone watched with anticipation, waiting to see what would happen next.

"They're watching us like we're celebrities." Ochaco thought.

She clearly wasn't used to this level of attention.

"I'm sorry about this, it isn't exactly what I was expecting when I did this." Midoriya told her.

"When you did what?" Ochaco asked.

Midoriya hesitated for a moment, trying not to let his awkward nature get the better of him.

"This." Midoriya said.

Midoriya pulled her in and gently kissed her, holding her close.

Within a moment the crowd was ecstatic, cheering the two of them on.

Midoriya barely noticed anyone else aside from Ochaco.

"Well, it definitely gets my feelings across, though I still haven't exactly asked her out yet." Midoriya thought.

Midoriya broke the kiss, seeing a heavily blushing Ochaco.

"Deku." Ochaco whispered.

"Uraraka… I mean, Ochaco, will you go out with me?" Midoriya asked her.

Everyone quieted down once more, waiting to hear her answer.

Ochaco smiled, slightly laughing at their situation.

"Yes." Ochaco said.

Everyone cheered again as they heard her answer, applauding the new couple.

Meanwhile.

Inko Midoriya had been watching the whole time, shedding even more tears than when she saw Midoriya competing in the sports festival.

"Izuku!" Inko shouted, while starting more waterworks from her eyes.

So, what did you think? I wanted this to be just one chapter but I was thinking of doing one follow up, so let me know if any of you want that. I'll see you all next time and I hope you have an awesome day.
